Editorial Review for Acapulco's Gold – by Rachel Bellacera

In Short
Most visitors come here with one goal: drinking with a side of food. The kitschy decor won't excite, but the tables hold gargantuan heaps of food and harbor strong, fruity margaritas.

Insider Tips

Where to Sit

Half of the space is a bar/lounge, while the other is a restaurant/diner. The bar gets smoky on busy nights, so sensitive diners should try to score a table away from the bar entrance.

It's somewhat like a high-end Taco Bell, with a bar. Great staff, and the food has a good flavor, but is not in the style someone who has eaten in Ensenada or Mexico City would expect. The margaritas are good (and generous!), and the chips and salsa are a great bonus. (The rice is better with some salsa blended in.) They also have a good supply of commercial hot sauces available, and the portion sizes are great for the price. The only parking is on street, which is a problem for some. If you can walk a block you'll find enough though. If you like Tequila, check out the bar. They have a very good selection, and keep the prices comparable to other places in NW Portland.

Pros: Good food, drinks, staff

Cons: Dining area seating and decor

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Fabulous drinks, food and service. Friendly atmosphere. Stiff beverages. Heaping portions. Chips and Salsa complimentary waiting at your table. Great place. No frills here, just good drink, food and company.

Pros: Portions, Adult Beverages, Staff

Editor's Review

Burly Tex-Mex fare served with little attitude at a Northwest neighborhood dive.  See the full editorial review.
